ComfortClient Release

[juwi_uk]

For all those ComfortClient users out there, you\'ll notice I\'ve today advertised a new build.  It\'s been a while as I\'ve stepped away from the keyboard for quite a few months to rest up from coding evenings (this isn\'t my day job!!) and to get some exercise as was getting middle-age spread if you know what I mean.  Anyway...

The fixes and new features are shown below.  Upgrade from within the running application or download via the links on this forum or via my website.

Enjoy

Julian


 

[size=5]Bug Fixes/Changes
·         Migration from Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition to 2015 Pro IDE.
·         Switch from .NET 4.5 to .NET 4.6.1. ComfortClient, Floorplan Editor plus the Application, Email and GSM4 (standard connectors) are uplifted to .NET 4.6.1, other connectors and plugins continue to run on .NET 4.5 until their next releases respectively.
·         General code refactoring for improved logic and performance.
·         ComfortClient now attempts to re-logon after system or UCM reset (RS or RSXX).
·         The UCM Type on the SS command is now decoded.
·         Logoff with Debug Mode enabled, when no plugins are loaded, would cause an exception and ComfortClient would close.
·         On 64bit operating systems, the 64bit version of FTD2XX.DLL would be installed even though the application is 32bit, leading to “Attempting to load FTD2XX.DLL…” dialog box at start-up.
·         Updated version of the embedded Infralution Licensing code.
·         Improve Floorplan Tab Activity update and clear cycle. Reduce Tab flickering as much as possible.
·         Updated Event Log decode with additional parameters now passed from Comfort.
·         Updated decode module types in SS command to now include Types 129 and 130, IRIO and TSM extended module types respectively.
·         ASM01 (Arduino Sensor Module by Ingo) type added to TSM decode.
·         The “Is Temperature?” checkbox is now unlocked for Comfort Sensor types on floorplan objects because sensors can now report more than just temperatures.
·         Occasional \"Permission denied for user..” errors when closing ComfortClient when signed in.
·         Sensor Object Types now implement the “Is16Bit?” checkbox.
·         Debug Monitor window now auto scrolls to last entry to keep it in focus.
·         Sensors and Counters now decode negative values correctly.

New Features
·         Support decode of TSM and HIO module types.
·         Support decode of “EL”, EOL Shunts, command to log file/monitor.
·         Support decode of HIO command replies (H?) and reports (H#), command to log file/monitor.
·         Add “Activate Now!” button to the Time Programs Window.
·         Add “Log File Monitor” on Information menu; shows a real-time view of the log file data written during the current ComfortClient session.
·         Extended ValueTransform property for floorplan Label & Gauge objects, allows Comfort Sensor values too be converted relative to a “reference value” (for Analogue Input conversion).
·         A “Reset Colour Palette” button added to the Debug Monitor window to allow the auto-selected items colours to be re-selected.[/size]

Hey I never left!

Hi Julian
Great to see the FTD2XX.DLL problem is solved!!

Could you check Object Matrix OUTPUT/SCS/RIO for me please
It doesn\'t read values until they are toggled :-(
The other three options in Object Matrix work OK

Mike, which of these is a problem? The Comfort Outputs or the RIO Outputs? Also, any one in particular?

Ingo

[mikegriff]

Definitely all of the OUTPUTs 
I\'m afraid I can say for the SCS nor RIO I have got them but I cant recalling them showing.
So It could be that the OUTPUT has now joined the RIO or SCS but please Julian don\'t take my word for that.
OUTPUT definitely is a no show at start up, the  show updated grey box works But if you unsuppress the zero\'s All is Zero when it shouldn\'t be!!

Hope this helps
Mike
[edit]  Just checked and everything after 120 in OUTPUT/SCS/RIO is greyed out perminantly and always has been.

[Ingo]

Yip, I see the Output behave as you described. Will chat to Julian about it. It seems to be an overlap with Comfort vs RIO port mapping and status checks.

Hi Mike

I\'ve found and fixed the issues tonight and will create a new 5.1.6.2 release in tomorrow and post.

Thanks for finding.

I\'ve posted a maintenance release now which you should see \"advertised\" within your running ComfortClient UI.
